About this position
New PhD studentship at the University of Leicester via CENTA (Central England NERC Training Alliance), co-supervised by Patricia Rodriguez Macia and developed in collaboration with Dominik H.
The project focuses on Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) and how they influence proton transfer and selectivity in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, especially in competition with hydrogen evolution. Research will combine non-precious metal porphyrinoid synthesis, electrochemistry, and spectroscopy, and will also explore the recovery and catalytic reuse of metal-containing porphyrinoids from complex feedstocks.
There is also an opportunity for research secondments with the Halter Group at the University of Antwerp, adding complementary expertise in electrocatalysis and electro-hydrogenation. Full training is provided across synthesis, electrochemistry, and spectroscopy, with experience in both Leicester and Antwerp.
Application deadline: 6 January 2027.
Keywords: chemistry, electrocatalysis, CO2 reduction, deep eutectic solvents, porphyrinoids, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, sustainable carbon conversion.
